+## [0.3.1] - 2024-06-20
+- changed **uint8_t readInitialState()** to return the read state.
+- changed **bool setValue(uint8_t re, int32_t value = 0)** to return false 
+if parameter re is out of range, prevent possible bug.
+- changed **int32_t getValue(uint8_t re)** to return 0 
+if parameter re is out of range, prevent possible bug.
+- add example **rotaryDecoder_demo_RE_IO.ino**
+- update readme.md, interface section.
+- minor edits

 ## [0.3.0] - 2024-02-14
-- Fix #10
+- Fix #10, add read and write for free IO pins.
 - add **read1(pin)**
 - add **write1(pin, value)** experimental see #10
 - made **read8()** and **write8()** public for faster multi pin access

-- **bool checkChange()** polling to see if one or more RE have changed,

+- **uint8_t readInitialState()** read the initial state of the 4 rotary encoders. 
+Typically called in setup only, or after a sleep e.g. in combination with **setValue()**.
+Since 0.3.1 this function returns the read state, saves an additional read8() call.
+- **bool checkChange()** used for polling to see if one or more RE have changed.
+This function does NOT update the internal counters.
+- **bool update()** returns true if there is a change detected.
+It updates the internal counters of the RE. 
 The counters will add +1 or -1 depending on rotation direction. 
 Need to be called before **getValue()** or before **getKeyPressed()**. 
-Note that **update()** must be called as soon as possible after the interrupt occurs (or as often as possible when polling).
-- **void updateSingle()** update the internal counters of the RE. 
-This will add +1 +2 or +3 as it assumes that the rotary encoder 
-only goes into a single direction. 
+Note that **update()** must be called as soon as possible after the interrupt occurs 
+or as often as possible when polling.  
+Returns false if there is no change since last read.
+- **bool updateSingle()** returns true if there is a change detected.
+It updates the internal counters of the RE. 
+This will add +1, +2 or +3 as it assumes that the rotary encoder 
+only goes into a single direction.  
+Returns false if there is no change since last read.
 
 
 #### Counters
 
-- **uint32_t getValue(uint8_r re)** returns the RE counter.
-- **void setValue(uint8_r re, uint32_t value = 0)** (re)set the internal counter to value, default 0
+- **int32_t getValue(uint8_r re)** returns the RE counter.
+If the parameter re > 3 then 0 is returned.

+If the parameter re > 3 then false is returned, true otherwise.
